      • Milan Apartment Tour – "A little tour of my humble abode.  As I've mentioned before, the student housing system in Italy is really different from the US. I don't live in a dorm but a four bedroom apartment in a residence owned by my school. It has its pros and cons of course. I haven't posted a video in a while so I thought it would be cool to give you an inside look of where I'm living. Also hope to give all the new college students that are watching some organization ideas for their dorm." – Published on Sep 13, 2014
      • RACISM IN ITALY? | Being [AFRICAN AMERICAN] in Italia – "DISCLAIMER: My views and opinions on racism in Italy based off of my time living here. NEVER did I say there was NO Racism in Italy, I just said it was different and in my opinion less severe. I did address the fact that immigrants, specifically those seeking asylum and menial work are treated badly and I also gave reasons as to why I think that is. Fact of the matter is, migrants are treated badly in every country and that's a different issue in itself but this video isn't about immigration. The topic is racism (the discrimination of one person based SOLELY off of their race) in Italy and how it compares to that of my home country of the states. To answer your own questions, I've travelled around Italy but am based in Milan. I've been living here for a year. My views and opinions on racism in Italy based off of my time living here.

      • RACISM IN ITALY 2 | BLACK IN ITALY LIVECAST – "Seven months ago I published a video about my experience with race relations in Italy. Over 100,000 views later, I thought it would be interesting to reopen the conversation. I had received comments saying that because I am a woman, American, and had only lived here for a short period that my views regarding race relations were invalid. While my opinions on the issue remain mostly unchanged, I decided to invite some of my friends Italian and foreign, men and women to come online and discuss their opinions and experiences on race in the country LIVE. Join us as we discuss this issue and how it pertains to the wider context in the world, I guarantee it won't be boring :)" – "Bellamy is a born and raised Italian blogger and marketing agent;  http://www.afroitaliansouls.it/,
